Trivia
Michael York (David "Arthur" McIntyre) previously played Merlin in A Young Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1995) and later played King Arthur in A Knight in Camelot (1998).

Goofs
Marcus claims to be "several generations removed" from his ancestors who lived in the United Kingdom. It is therefore unlikely (though not impossible) that he would have a distinct British accent, since accents are not hereditary.

Quotes
[last lines]
[Marcus and Dr. Franklin have just seen 'Arthur' off]
Marcus Cole: Where my people come from, his story has great power. I'll miss him.
Dr. Stephen Franklin: Even if he wasn't Arthur?
Marcus Cole: [as Kosh appears] Now, now! Next thing you'll be saying is he's not Merlin! - Merlin was a great teacher, you know!
Dr. Stephen Franklin: I'm not hearing this.
Marcus Cole: They say he aged backwards. That was how he was able to foretell the future - by remembering it! Which means he came from the future! Maybe he had Arthur form the Round Table by remembering us! We're forming one of our own, after all. Which makes you Percival. I'm Galahad, him being sinless and all. Sheridan is Arthur. Ivanova, perhaps Gawain. I think we both know who Mordred is. So the question is - who is Morgana le Fay?

Good

Despite this attempt being a bit ham-fisted, it's always nice to see classic tales introduced into modern adventures. The actor involved therein is the finest scene chewer I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing, and I suspect whether or not you find his acting pleasing, you will be entertained.
